【Kamigami no Asobi】 lyrics: I bless you ／ Liar
I've got about 30min left of battery life left, so let's do this thing! This next set of KamiAso character songs features the Norse gods, Balder & Loki~ (poor Thor gets left out...)
(I bless you)
- Balder's character song, which is surprisingly not as gentle as I would've expected. All my feels go out to Balder after that last episode of the anime, and the instrumental version of this they play during all of the Balder moments is enough to dissolve me into a gooey puddle of feels and tears (YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME, BROCCOLI!!! MY HEART CAN'T TAKE IT!!!!) ><
- This comment doesn't have much to do with the song so much as Balder the character himself. So inspired by this series and all the recent Marvel movies, I've been looking into Norse mythology recently. And I see where they got the explanation for Balder's other half, but...cannot say much more on that without revealing spoilers, so yeah...
(Liar)
- Loki's character song, if the title didn't make that obvious enough. I FLIPPIN LOVE THIS SONG!!! Is my favorite from this entire series so far! It's quirky and upbeat, and the melody seems vaguely familiar for reasons I cannot discern.
- Besides being a fun song, this was also a joy to translate~ It suits Loki's character so well! I love that it sounds like he's screwing with you, and he KNOWS he's screwing with you! xD
So this is in fact NOT the final character album of the game series. That's right, the Egyptians get songs too! So next up we'll get to hear from Anubis and Thoth~ (Oh, and the good news is that Anubis will be singing in actual words and not just that weird "kai-barabara" thing he does; I was glad to see him finally make noise in the anime--it's nice to hear his voice for a change~)
NOTE: If you intend to use my romanizations/translations, please credit!

光求めて差し出されたその手
I bless you, I need you 囚われの檻
限りのある時間が語るなら
It is given. Perfect gift 生きてる証
True self… とかれた魔法 あなただけ
純粋な想い灯をともし 愛しさが満ち溢れる
Kiss away 柔らかに触れて あなたが惑わす
わたしを縛りつける香り
この腕深く閉じ込め 永遠に逃さない
出会えた 瞬間の奇跡手放しはしない
感じて愛の共犯者へ
わたしの全て捧げ 共に優しい夢を
背中合わせの絶望が胸をさす
remember, only you 確かな希望
抗えない運命だとしても
everything, everywhere 笑ってほしい
fake it… 嘘つきなんだ その瞳
くちびる 髪も微笑みも あきらめられるはずない
眩しく 世界はこんなに輝いてるのに
いつしか終わりが来ることを
知っているから つかの間止まれと願い抱き
愛して 何よりも強く焼きつけた傷跡(メモリー)
魂(こころ)に響かせあえたなら
数えきれないシーン 共に紡いでいこう
Kiss away 柔らかに触れて あなたが惑わす
わたしを縛りつける香り
この腕深く閉じ込め 永遠に逃さない
出会えた 瞬間の奇跡手放しはしない
感じて愛の共犯者へ
わたしの全て捧げ 共に優しい夢を

Translation:
Your outstretched hand in search of light
I bless you, I need you! Imprisoned in a cage
If our limited time is any indication,
It is given. The perfect gift. The proof that we’re alive
My true self… Only you could break the spell
Lighting the light of pure feelings, overflowing with this preciousness
Kiss away! You tempt me with a gentle touch,
Binding me with your sweet scent
Shut away deep within my arms, I’ll never let you go
I won’t let go of that miracle from the instant we met
To you, my accomplice in this love I feel,
I offer you my everything together with this gentle dream
The back to back despair closes my heart
Remember, only you… An unwavering hope
Even if I cannot fight my fate,
Everything, everywhere, I want you to smile
Fake it… Such a lie, your eyes,
Your lips, your hair and your smile…I could never give you up
Even if this dazzling world shines like this,
The end will come before you realize it
Knowing this, I hold on to this wish to stop this moment
This love that’s been burned into my memory more powerfully than anything else,
Together with these countless scenes, I’ll tell you of them
Kiss away! You tempt me with a gentle touch,
Binding me with your sweet scent
Shut away deep within my arms, I’ll never let you go
I won’t let go of that miracle from the instant we met
To you, my accomplice in this love I feel,
I offer you my everything together with this gentle dream

こぼれたパーツ 気になる導火線
息をひそめ 声に出さないCount down
火花ちらして 巻き起こせbig bang☆
Darling? Honey? Princess? 愛しの子猫ちゃん?
呼びたいNew Name とびっきりイカすYour baby
だから笑ってこっちを向きなよ
つつくと見せる困った顔ゾクゾクさせる(So cute)
思わず食べちゃいそうなほど好きだよ
(one step hold hands. two step deep gaze. three step mission...? hya〜)
オーロラの下でSweetなキスはどう?
お好みでテイスト変えて
おあずけキャンディー 瞳閉じたなら
2人きりflavor
その手に抱えきれないほどのIをfor you
迷えるトリックスター できそこないのLiar
仮面のSecret でまかせだらけAnswer
史上最大笑えないジョーク
出来る事なら「今」をずっと閉じ込めさせて(wishing)
伝う涙拭い去るのはオレだけ
(one step planning, two step action, three step pull the trigger)
小さな約束救い上げた孤独
胸を焦がす優しい記憶
何度叫んでも消えた光はもう
空の彼方へ
(one step hold hands. two step deep gaze. three step mission...? hya〜)
オーロラの下でSweetなキスはどう?
お好みでテイスト変えて
アンタがそこにいてくれるなら多分
それだけでいいや
その手に抱えきれないほどのIをfor you

Translation:
Of the visible parts, the fuse is most concerning!
Holding you breath for its voiceless countdown,
The flying sparks bursting into the big bang☆
Darling? Honey? Princess? My beloved kitten?
I want you to call me by a new name: your super cool baby!
So don’t look at me when you smile!
The troubled face you make when I poke at you gives me such a thrill! (So cute!)
I love you so much, I might just eat you up without even thinking about it!
(Step One: hold hands; Step Two: deep gaze; Step Three: mission…? Hya~)
How about a sweet kiss under the aurora?
I’ll change the taste to your liking
The candy will have to wait until you’ve closed your eyes
The flavor for just the two of us
I’m too much for you to handle!
An uncontrollable trickster, a good-for-nothing liar,
Secret disguises, answers full of BS
The greatest flop of a joke in history!
If I could, I’d lock up “now” forever! (Wishing)
I’m the only one who’ll wipe away your streaming tears
(Step One: planning; Step Two: action; Step Three: pull the trigger!)
Loneliness rescued by such a tiny promise,
Gentle memories I yearn for,
No matter how many times I scream, the light’s already faded
Beyond the sky
(Step One: hold hands; Step Two: deep gaze; Step Three: mission…? Hya~)
How about a sweet kiss under the aurora?
I’ll change the taste to your liking
If you’re there for me, then maybe
Just that would be enough
I’m too much for you to handle!
